C'mon, Bucco. Give me a reference wherein President-elect Obama recommended the seating of Burris in the Senate--"made it happen", as you say.

"WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats beat a hasty retreat Wednesday from their rejection of Roland Burris as President-elect Barack Obama's successor, yielding to pressure from Obama himself and from senators irked that the standoff was draining attention and putting them in a bad light. Burris said with a smile he expected to join them "very shortly."

And then this.....

"Principle doesn't seem to have much staying power in the freshly minted Democratic Senate. Blow on a principled position with a little rhetoric and a puff of political downside and whoosh, it collapses

But by Wednesday, Reid was busy paving the way for Burris to join the Senate club — apparently with Obama's blessing."
